The multi-bar rests are for playing with an orchestra - ignore if playing solo.
If you’re interested in my instruments, the best thing to do is to arrange to drop by and meet me.
I’m based in the rural town of Buckfastleigh, Devon, in the south-west of England.
Buckfastleigh is easy to find, just off the A38 in between Newton Abbot and Totnes, and about 30 minutes drive away from Exeter or Plymouth.

I’m more likely to be able to answer the ‘phone if you ring between 5pm and 8pm GMT.
I usually respond to emails within a day.
